Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. You want to you want to be on
the show, that's how you go ahead and make that happen.
Speaking of coming up on the show, we got let's see,
we got Stephen Kent. He'll be joining us on this
on this fine morn and that'll be in the.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Eight o'clock hour, eight oh five.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
So I tell you this because obviously we tend to
when we have Steven On be able to deviate away
from the world of politics for a few minutes, except
where it intersects with you know, like the entertainment industry,
and Frank, I feel like we all need that. This week,
I was at a I was at an event for

(00:44):
one of our clients. I was at an event for
one of our clients. Man, I could never get away
from our doomsday updates, even when I'm in another market.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
There we go.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, one of our clients, Doug Ray Wealth Guardians Gentlemen,
was he had an event for you know, folks that
work with him, and uh, I don't know. We had
maybe thirty thirty five people there yesterday and we did
a Q and A and uh, yeah, everyone is on

(01:18):
edge man and understandably. So I just want to point
that understandably so that everyone is on edge. But I
feel like I feel like on Friday Ross, we have
an obligation to talk about nothing but nonsense. So I
maybe I may be trending in that direction. Nonsense and
cat memes. You realize you all have become cat memers.

(01:43):
You know that, right, think of it. You have become
the cat memers.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's like a sigup.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, they got you. They get yourself, a shawl and afghan,
a divorce, a hoarder house, you're in.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
You're in.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
He tricked you. They really didn't trick you, because you
know it's still horrible. Oh I'm sorry, it's not horrid.
It's debunked. It's all debunked that bad.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
You know, you do this for a while, you end
up seeing like patterns, like like how.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Things are, and you predict stuff. You predict stuff before
you even see the edge of the patterns.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Because you've been doing it so long you can just
see how it's going to play out. Right. Yeah, for
me personally, it's a gift. For others, it's just like
you get over time, you get lucky. Maybe and I've
been getting the feeling. See my videos come out of Springfield.
I saw her this morning of a young African American
woman and she was just in tears bawling about finding

(02:41):
a decapitated dog and how she was terrified and it
got hit by car. She was by car and she's
just crying. I saw another video of a guy from
Jamaica and he was made a video in a park
and he was talking about how, you know, he was
born and raised in Jamaica and talking about, you know,
he has experience with the you know, Haitians, and if
he said, just go out and talk to like a

(03:03):
native born Haitian, not somebody that's been Americanized over decades here,
but like somebody who just got here, or just go
there and you know, and talk to them. And so
by the way, don't go to Haiti. Yeah, anyway, and
just talk to them and you'll find out that this
sort of thing is a religious practice they do involving
voodoo and it's it's believed that you know, they harvest,

(03:24):
they harvest the blood and they do it for good luck.
And then it's something he said, that's something that they
would be proud of, and it's something they do over
there it's their religious belief. So if you were to
drop twenty thousand Haitians in a town of fifty thousand people,
they're probably not going to be super Americanized really quick
right there.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But you're not and you're not implying that every single
Haitian is even partaking in that.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
No, it is a segment of yes, But there's actually
a percentage of the population there in Haiti. And there
is another girl that said she was on a missionary
assignment there from the church shoots down in Haiti, and
she said, what they did there is they had to
put a certain flat over their house so people would
know that they practiced it. It was like a black
flag or something. And she was talking about how that

(04:06):
that was the norm there. But she said, if you
were to drop twenty thousand Haitians in a city of
fifty thousand people, which, by the way, Mayor Adams said
that New York City was on the verge of collapse
after their population went up two percent now today one
hundred and twenty thousand out of the millions and millions.
Whereas you drop twenty thousand Haitians in a town of
fifty thousand people, what is that going to do to

(04:27):
their economy, let alone all this other stuff, right.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Right, these are all legitimate, yeah questions, conversations that have
all been debunked.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, so there is going to be a percentage of
this population that is going to practice this stuff. So
I but I have a feeling the way this is
coming out, in the way videos are coming out, and
you have like the nine one one call a log
from Springfield because first they were like, you know, and
David Moore whatever he pronounces the name of the moderator
from the EBCD was like, you know, ther French or

(04:55):
whatever he said that you know, the Springfield Police Department
said that they've gotten a report because people don't report
missing pets to the police. That's not something that they do.
That's not typically well.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
And also if when they do, like the NINEI one
call log, they don't make a report. See, so they're
playing it's word games. It's word games because they're not
they're not doing an investigation because it's not a thing
that they investigate.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
But then but then it came out with the nine
to one to one call log where it was like
you know, there it was in black and white from
the police department. Talking about responding to a call where
four geese were stolen.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's stolen livestock ross, which is a thing that I
had to listen how stolen livestock is a common thing.
Go to Wyoming and steal some cows. Right wait, I'll
be right here, and I'll be here to console your family.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You go right ahead. Or see how it is when
when you maybe steal or you do something to another
family's pig in West Virginia. Let's see how that plays out.
Oh yeah, that's good point.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, But but my point is is it's not just
it's not so a rampant thing that you can just
write it off. Is that because what you're implying when
you when you apply as somebody stole livestock generally, you know,
when when they would rustle cows, they would rustle them
because they wanted their own cows to raise, right, they
were going into agricultural endeavors. They weren't killing the cow

(06:14):
in a pentagram. Do you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, because you see people are like, oh, well, we've
hunted waterfowl forever. Yeah. Well, it's not the cultural norm
to go down to a park in the United States
and to capitate a goose or or in front of
children with a future shooter. Yeah, that's not what we
do in this country. It's not our can can.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I add to that too as somebody who has harvested
waterfowl in and to hunt waterfowl, although I'm not a
huge waterfowl guy because I frankly I don't really like to.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Eat geese or ducks.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I know that sounds weird and somebody probably be like, well,
what's wrong with you? It's just a person. I don't
mind them, but it's not my favorite thing. That being said,
I'm sorry where you saying to just.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Go back to the to the to the original point.
You know. The way that I see this playing out,
it has the feelings of the Hunter Biden laptop up
where it comes out in the election cycle relative you know,
in the last few months, and it seems so out
we're you know, so out there that people are like,
this has to be fake. And then as time goes on.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
We thought we thought it might be. Do you remember
we had Juliani. I you were like, the whole story
is ridiculous. You're telling me Hunter Biden's gonna drop off
his laptop with incriminating evidence to it. Dude in a
computer shop in New or Delaware wherever it was, and
he's with all this evidence on it, and then he's
not going to pick it up. That is completely insane.
And you understand where the memes are gonna come from,
and people aren't gonna believe it. But as time went on,

(07:35):
believe it or not, it all turned out to be true.
And I mean, I'm just getting the vibes from the
Springfield story that is sort of going to be the
same way. And then what you're gonna see in a
year because I see a lot of people on Facebook
and I just ignore a lot of stuff on Facebook.
People think it would be the other way, where like.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm constantly engaging with people and I want to get
into annance with I'm not that way at all. So
I'll be scrolling and what I do is crazy. If
I see somebody say something I don't agree with or
I think it's complete lunacy or just dumb, I just
keep scrolling and I non in my head a little
bit because I know how it's gonna play out in
a few weeks time. Right, I let things sort of
marinate and process, and I let time in the facts
catch up to them. But what is astounding to me,

(08:11):
especially on this topic, when there's so much stuff coming
out about it, and if you dive into it, it's
not it's not the arrogance of people or not. It's
not the ignorance of people. It's the arrogance. It's the
arrogance in their ignorance that is astounding. Yeah, they're so confident,
They're so confident they're right after being wrong repeatedly for

(08:33):
three and a half years on nearly every subject. COVID
hunter Biden's laptop, just throw it out, whatever the topic,
they've been wrong. And you think at some point you
would have the ability to look at yourself and look
at your track record and be like, maybe, instead of
spitting out my thoughts on a topic two seconds after
it comes out with no knowledge, maybe I should sit

(08:53):
back and process just a little bit, because I'm continuously
looking stupid and dumb. But if you've never admit that
you got one wrong, your your your record is unblemish.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
It's like it's like you're it's like you're h I
don't mean to pick on the panthers, but it's like
the Panthers at the end of this season running around undefeated, undefeated,
one percent undefeated. That'd like Ross rolling in every morning
with his four time world championship sweatshirt on.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
And you're like, no, it's the opposite of that. What
are you sitting down?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
And then I would tell him be like ah whatever
four times. Whoa going back? Going going back to real,
real quick to the waterfowl thing. Illegally harvesting waterfowl is
a big deal. Those of you who hunt know this.
You start that dude who shot that deer up in

(09:51):
Virginia up at the Hollywood Cemetery in uh h, was
it your Richmond? I know if you saw this story,
the big old buck, everybody stopp to see and he
just couldn't take it. So he hopped a fence and
he greased that thing in the cemetery and drug it
over to a piece of property. And it's so it
was so non typical. He entered it in the state's
big buck contest and people all knew which deer it was.

(10:14):
That dude isn't hunting again for twenty five years.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I think.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
And his fine is like a house illegally harvesting, even
if you. You can illegally harvest out of season, you
can do it without a license. You can take it's
called taking in an improper manner. All of these things
are criminal offenses, in some rise to the level of felonies.

(10:38):
And it is a challenge that wildlife officials face, especially
when people move from some other place, and it can
be as simple as they move from a different state
with different laws. One of the challenges, and this is
not me stereotyping or anything. You can look at the
statistics and the fact that they have special classes. In Minnesota,

(11:00):
they put together educational systems for relocated muns people who
had come from Cambodia or people in that area because
they were over harvesting fish out of lakes and it
was they they deemed it a communications problem because they
were free to do it prior to that in certain circumstances,

(11:24):
and so they had to build an education system that
didn't even have a weird religious component or any you know,
any of it. They were and a lot of them
were like sheep's head and stuff, which I don't even
know why they had a limited on that, but they did.
And so they but they were finding the substantial fines
to people who could least afford it, and they decided
where we're going to go and we're going to educate.

(11:46):
But they don't screw around. So my question is where
are where is the game wardens here? This isn't just
a police issue. The police wouldn't even handle it. Where
are the game wardens for the illegal harvesting of the geese?
If you admit that, they because like they'll admit it,
but they'll claim it's something else. That's a thing. You
don't want to be on the wrong side of game

(12:07):
and fish man. I've I've watched them nick people out
in Wyoming. Those dudes will never come back to Wyoming
to hunt again, and they probably won't be sending one
of their you know, going on a vacation that year.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
It's a it's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
And anyone who has ever hunted, ever held a fishing
like you know, you know what I'm talking about. So
I don't understand where is that component because that is
outside the hands of the Springfield City manager and all
these folks who are being used as sources, although it's
mostly that manager, get your get your you got a
game war in there, your semi rule Ohio, that person

(12:45):
should be in there, Johnny on the spot doing something
about this for whatever reason, whether they ate the goose
or you know, who knows. But to Ross's point, it's
always the same cats. I don't mean actual cats, I
mean the same individuals who are incredibly confident community notes.

(13:08):
I've noticed on every one of these stories is a
simple one line thing, and it all goes back to
the city manager saying this has been debunked. There's no
curiosity and even commenting. They were commenting on pictures and
audio and all of that of the nine to one
to one stuff, saying that none of it's true. On
where the media is included in the tweet, they were

(13:32):
commenting that it's not true.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
The audacity.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
They don't even go, ah, it's faked, like the night
will add it's a fake. They don't even take the
time to address the evidence in front of them.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
They're just like, no, I read this one thing.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
There's one link that is the same link shared over
and over and it's it's not true.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Great, we saw this play out before with Hunter Body's
laptop and with COVID. Yeah, it's just it's the same
thing happening over and over again. It really is, but
you're dealing with and then the people who are supposed
to tell you or help you decide whether it's true
or not by putting in the work. Because we can't
all go to this town, and we can't all go
to Springfield and do Foyer requests and interview local officials

(14:13):
and all that. Yeah, we got jobs, We've got things
to do. So you rely on the media to have
that curiosity to do it, and they're not going to
do it. Remember, the media are the same people who
did that. You see the CNN fact check total yesterday
from the debate. I didn't see it till after the show.
How many lies do you think they nicked Trump for?
How many times do they say Trump lied during the

(14:36):
debate according to the CNN fact check or Dale whatever
that kid's name is, thirty three times? How many times
do you think CNN said Kamala lied during the debate
if Trump was able to get thirty three in and
politicians and politicians I know the Federalists came out within
an article saying she lied twenty five times.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
One, she lied once. Yeah, and she didn't lie. It
was a half truth. So and it wasn't even one
of the things you're thinking of. It was it was, oh,
you know what it was. It was the sex changes
for incarcerated illegal immigrants. That's the one wee We're like, no,
she did because she she wrote it. She wrote the
damn thing on a survey.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
She's on video talking about it.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, so that was her one whoopsie. But then they
called it a half truth and I don't even understand. Hey,
you get there, so thirty three to half I'm telling
you every No, it's easy to be ignorant and confident
because everyone around you who's supposed to be an authority
is telling you nah, Now you're fine. No, that's you're

(15:40):
absolutely one hundred percent accurate because we totally didn't even
look into it. But we are an authoritative news source,
so feel free to take that to the bank. All right,
Well we'll continue down that road and uh much more.
Like I said, we got to Stephen Ken at eight
oh five, So we're gonna blow through this Thursday coming

(16:01):
up here on the CaCO Day radio program. So yesterday, well,
so Tuesday we had our Triad Bourbon gathering.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Like I mentioned on the show, that was great.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Today it is the Triangle's turn, so I'll be hanging
with a few of you, quite a few of you
coming up later this evening. We do have some tickets remaining,
so if you want to get Johnny on the spot,
you're thinking you were't gonna be able to make it,
but you can make it today. We'd love to have you.
Details on Bourbon flight is on there, so you can

(16:33):
check that out and we'll have we'll have we'll have
a bunch of stuff up there. And thank you in
this case to our client from Isell Health, Eric Wilson.
He's actually he's actually going to be up in there,
and he's the guy. He's the Obama killer dude for
people have to buy their own health insurance. But we'll
talk more about that. But last night I had an

(16:54):
opportunity to work with Doug Ray, who's one of my
very very long running clients and partners here on the radio.
And I attend an event that he holds at his
HQ which is in Clemens, and so a lot of
his a lot of his existing clients come down there
and he does educational stuff and experienced stuff and and

(17:15):
so you know, once a year I'll go and we'll
do a meet and greet and Q and a and
all that, and what a perfect day to do it.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
You get right after the debate.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
People want to talk about a lot of stuff, and
so Doug and I get up on stage and you know,
and we're talking about the debate and some of the
other big issues. And now it's time to go to
the audience. So and it's very loose. I'm just staring. So,
who's got a question? Raise your hand. It's literally, you know,
it's it's grade school all over again. And the first
question I get is about Ross.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
If it was the question is Ross real? No, I
don't know, because you weren't there. I was. I drove
one hundred.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Miles to I don't know if that's exact. It probably
is about one hundred miles. I drove one hundred miles
to be there.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well, a few things. One I've said since nineteen I've
been a sigh up since nineteen ninety four. I've been
clear about that, so you can't put that on me.
But also, I was there in spirit. I was there
in spirit.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
I meant I just say that to deflect it. And
then I got the question, which, which, to be honest,
is better than me being actually there. Well, if you
are if you're a spirit, yes, because then it would
it Doug's building would be haunted. The question was what
do you think it was? Do you think it was
about Middle East policy and your thoughts on it?

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I think that was probably olive garden related.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
No, no, no, Why does Ross know so much about
wrestling and video games?

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Years of experience.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm like, you got to put in the time, You
got to put in the work you do, gotta just
do you have to do? You understand the amount of
work to sit here and you can't see it, but
there is a visible moment when I'm talking about something random,
usually serious, and all of a sudden, Ross kicks into

(19:12):
third or you know, three or four times his normal speed,
and he is he's he's grinning, but the maniacal kind, right,
and he if he goes and he starts monking with
the one keyboard that's the next gen keyboard and frantically

(19:33):
moving the mouse and typing, I know that he has
struck upon one of the thousand cuts in the system
of stupid wrestling or Joe dirt things or whatever that
he just has sitting in there for no reason.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
I've told you everything can go back to Seinfelder wrestling everything.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
But it's in a system half the time.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, Like the moderators they said then the debate the
other day, they were like they were over selling what
they were doing, and it was very obvious, like when
Shawn Michaels took on hul Cogan and it's a famous
wrestling it's just a famous and wrestling lore where the
entire match, Hogan would punch on Michaels and he would
just do backflips out of the ring or he would
act like it was like Mortal Kombat was over selling
and it was to prove a point, you know. And

(20:14):
that's yesterday. With those moderators, it was so obviously what
they were doing. I felt they were over selling it.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, but yeah, there's not wrong. Yeah, so why does
he know so much? I I there, I gave him
a chance to answer. There you go, because it's his passion,
which why did you think that was not going to
be his answer?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
You need an escape from all this crap, like because
if if you just stare into the abyss that is
politics twenty four to seven, and there are people that
do this on social media and I don't know how
you exist. If you if you stare into that, you
become the abyss. I can't do it. You need to
have some sort of escape. And for me it's video
games and wrestling and the Buffalo Bills and then now

(20:57):
the gym would do the gym, doing a gym thing,
but not talking about the Bills this season, So I
didn't say anything. Ross is wearing his four time world champion.
Now we're gonna lose. Now we're gonna lose tonight. Oh
you guys here tonight. That's right, yeah in Miami. Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Well I wouldn't speed if you're over there, dude, you
see Steven A. Smith calling Tyreek killo. That whole thing's
that whole thing's a mess. And somebody made a very
good point. If not for what happened to that golfer, you,
this thing would probably be a lot more insane, right, Well.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
You're saying I was thinking about it this morning at
the gym. I was talking to one of our listeners
about it, and and uh, what you're saying, you know,
he's what if I wasn't Tyreek Hill, I don't know. Well,
what if you were a rich golfer, you probably Scott Chef?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
What if you're the number one golfer in the world,
and let's no offense to Scotty. Even though the memes
with the tear drop things are funny, you're not. Nobody's
acted definitely trying to uh uh be racist against Scotty show.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Do you know what I'm saying? Like, they're not.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
There wasn't even a component that was brought up that
was all about a policing discussion. If they want to
have that over the Tyreek kill thing, they're welcome to
have it. You're welcome to have it. Theres a lot
of there's a lot of people that think that that officer,
not that he was wrong to escalate, but he escalated
too quickly or too much. And if if that's the

(22:30):
debate people were having, then fine, But it went right
into thanks to his agent and thanks to you know,
a bunch of poverty pimps that you know, live that
only only exists for the purpose of, you know, making
these stories much bigger than they are, or twisting them

(22:52):
in a way that doesn't accurately reflect what people even
think the problem is because that's that's their business, right.
They're like, they're like a commissioned salesperson. They got to
have the transaction or they ain't gonna get paid. And
so if you're going to make the argument that, see,
it doesn't matter how you know, how big of an

(23:14):
important and wealthy and famous, uh, a person of color gets,
they're still treated like you know they're they're doing stopping
frists in the in the bad parts.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Of the bronx or something.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
And the reality is, Scottie Scheffler could have been in
a whier neighborhood, in a wider situation for all of
you who want to catalog these things, and yet you
still saw what happened there and uh, and so being
able to literally hold up those two examples, I think
limit some of it, or at least at least forces

(23:49):
people actually stay in their lane and have the discussion
they say they want to have, which I'm cool with. Right,
you have a discussion about whatever you want. Maybe you're wrong, babe,
you're right, and who knows, maybe that changes something for
how you think it should be changed. But once you
immediately go into these clearly clearly hispanic officers, all right,

(24:16):
I do.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
It, dog, How do you know? How do you know?
I don't know. I have ears? You know, people have
accents right.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Clearly Hispanic officers were targeting Tyreek because he was black.
And once you do that, then you're gonna lose a
lot of people because they're listening. They're like, I don't
know that that's the thing. Even people would agree with
your position on most other things. Sorry, I got a
little sidetracked there because the whole thing was irritating me.
So anyway, Yeah, so first questions about you, and I

(24:50):
don't know, I thought it was an easy answer, but whatever,
So there you go. Person who asked I don't remember
the gentleman's name, so who asked the question? You has
to say there's your answer straight from the the horse's mouth.
Who may or may not be an AI construct we
used to fool you six forty four. Hang on all right,
because my my version of it, when when Ross and

(25:10):
I do this, I have like a remote secondary version
of it. It's showing me nothing and it says there's
no show and no still wait, if it says there's
no show, we can go home, right if that's what
it says.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
So I don't know that I can put a call
on the air right now.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
So just if we'll have to, we'll have to figure
that out. But that's fine. We'll we'll we'll get to
that here in just a moment.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Every free day, every day.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
To be fair, half the days it's something I'm doing,
but uh not today I think I have everything correct. Hey,
did you guys see the Joe Biden wearing the Trump
hat yesterday?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
We were talking earlier when we open the show. We
were discussing the process of scrolling and seeing people who
snap immediately to decisions, right, and then they will just
they'll they'll die on that hill Man and so that
Joe Biden there, there was a screenshot of Joe Biden.
He's got a Trump twenty twenty four hat on, and

(26:09):
the very same people who always were right, Now, that's
a photoshop. That's a photoshop. And I'm like, maybe I
thought maybe it's a photoshop, but here's the difference. I
went and I'm like, I'm gonna figure out why it's
a photoshop if it is, because half the time when
there is that, there's a.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Story.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
And also if people are putting that out and presenting
it as real, I need to know whose accounts to block,
so I don't because it wastes my time. We were
talking about this the other day somebody say, oh, you're
all about censorship. Me blocking people because you're wasting my
time is not government censorship, you absolute dolt who should

(26:54):
be blocked. And I'm not the government telling people to
do it.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Really, you know you have the ry to tell, but
it doesn't mean I have the right to. I'm forced
to listen to you.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yes, and again, if I was just if it was
just listening, it's one thing. But when I see you
post something that I go, oh, tell me more, and
then I go look at it, and consistently I find
out that it's just it's you who thinks you're funny,
or you doesn't check stuff. You've wasted my time, and
my time is valuable.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
You can see whatever you want to say, you can
scream into the void, but I don't have to listen
to you.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
So the same folks like that it's a photoshop, just
be done with it, because that's the knee jerk reaction. Now,
anything you don't like, you just accuse it of being
fake and then you move on. And I know some
of you are losing your mind with you. You go, oh,
it's rich covering from you with Trump with the fake news. Yeah, yeah,
sometimes sometimes when he does say it's fake news, it's

(27:47):
kind of not fake news, but a lot of times
it is. And that's why I will gladly explain to
you it's fake news. Kamala Harris only lying once and
Trump line thirty three times. According to CNN's fact check,
analysis is indisputably fake news. Indisputably, And they go, well,

(28:10):
how would you assess that? I would assess that, But
I could find I can find you three different absolute
diet in the wool moonbats who acquiesced to two or
three points, Meaning I could have a panel of people
who are hard left analysis, people who, if I cobble
them together, have each pointed out several things because they

(28:32):
all think they're given one away to look balanced, but
in reality it tallies far more than one. And now
we're over here. That is fake news. So the Trump
pad is not fake news. The context is fascinating, though,
I don't know if I want to set it up
then play it or play it and then do the thing.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I just dude, watching the video, it's absolutely amazing. Yeah yeah,
all right, so.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, I'm gonna play the interaction that Trump had with
this guy right there. They're in like you know, they're
in a they're in a room with tables and whatnot.
Everyone's sitting around and and buyer, excuse me by Biden's
work in the room. I know he's he's worked, he's
going around, he's he's doing the autograph thing and he's handshaking,
and I'm telling you, I did not recognize the dude.

(29:27):
And frankly, if this is the Biden you had seen
leading up to all this insanity going into the UH,
going into the debate and everything else, Donald Trump would
be in a lot more trouble than people think that
he is right now against Kamala If this is the
Joe Biden that was out there now, don't get me wrong,

(29:51):
he's given his he's given this dude some business.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
But so is the guy.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
And it's not he's not even doing he's not trying
to fight him.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
No, it's just it's fun back and forth.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Yes, all right, listen, I'm gonna play its entirety. I
won't talk over it's a minute. Ten, here we go, presidential.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Hat rap, oh chill, huh. Yeah, I remember her name.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't remember my name.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I s.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, I know man, I'm an old guy.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
I know you wouldn't know about that. What I know?

Speaker 2 (30:31):
All right, I'm a young time man.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Huh you heard mind of the guys that grew up
with there was always one in the neighborway.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
There you go, man, you got I need that hat.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
My autograph.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
I don't know, come on, I ain't going that far.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, obviously put the hat on at that moment.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
I'm crowd.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
You don't remembering cats? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (31:23):
They're good. You got your dog kick him.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Hopefully like the pizza. Oh, I mean, like what just happened?
That dude was like like like jovial fun, you know,
back and forth banter.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
He was.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
He was connected and ahead of the conversation, which he
hasn't been in a long time.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Right, jokingly put a Trump hat on. Right, you took
a picture, and then he talks about like he don't
eat cats and dogs. Like there's either two things going on.
Either a he's feeling a lot more light because he's
not campaigns and he can be himself, or he really
hates Kamala Harris. It's one of the two.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I now my brain went to the first one. I
went to the first one. But Holt but he was
actually listening this morning of a tech variety and he
just sent me this email. So all right, so yeah,
so we got that thing cooking off in the in
the background. All right, that did nothing, sir. Okay, unplug

(32:21):
the whole radio station is what you should do, and
then leave it out for thirty set.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
What is that with the tech? They're like, you know,
I plug your motive and.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Make sure it stays unplugged for thirty seconds, which, by
the way, I think that's BS.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
I don't think that's real.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
I know it probably is, but whatever, speaking of people
call him BS, I expected this email. So we just
played that Joe Biden audio or the context I guess,
however you want to describe it, of the of the
you know, where he's wearing the hat and he is
interacting with this dude, the dude, and the dude is

(32:58):
clearly not a Biden voter, and he is he is
probably he's excited at the at this at the proximity
that he has here, so he can make some wise cracks.
And again it's the exchange which is quick and sounds coherent,
which is so outside of the outside of what we

(33:21):
have all seen for quite some time. And I don't
know if it's the reduction of stress, because I always
got to do is go sit on a beach. Right now,
I'm not justifying it. I'm trying just trying to understand
how you get that. The reason I said that would
have been dangerous for Trump for those you mad about that,
is because all the media needed is like one or

(33:45):
two clips a week of him looking coherent. You realize that,
right there could be he could have twenty events, twenty
different opportunities to film him speaking, dodging, question taking questions,
interacting with people, and if two of them looked reasonably coherent,

(34:08):
they could then core focus on that video by saying
the president had a slate of events this weekend, blah
blah blah. He was here, then over here, and then
over here, and then they're just like, and here he
is when he happened to be in Pennsylvania, and then
they play a clip where he's you know, he's Joe
Biden from fifteen years ago, and then they could ignore

(34:30):
the rest of it. It was so bad they couldn't
get one of those. They couldn't they could without the
use of AI, they couldn't have put one of those together.
And then the you know, the cherry on the top
was obviously the debate. But whatever that was, that's what

(34:52):
was something different. But the email I expected is guy's
clearly an actor. Go watch the video. If that dude's
an actor, that is the most convincing portrayal of a
fifty something year old, curmudgeonly dude who's you know, who's
who's blue collar, labored all of his life and probably

(35:12):
has a seat with a little brass black with his
name in it at the old local dive bar watering
hole where he goes with his buddies. That's Americana man,
that's it. And he's got opinions and he's clearly he
clearly is not timid about them. And if that's an actor,
that is one of the greatest actors of our generation.

(35:37):
And don't get me wrong, it's not just it's we've
got to this point where anything we don't like that's
one of the other deflection. That's clearly an actor. It's
clearly fake. And it's easy to be cynical like that
because a lot of stuff right now is fake and
it looks real. But sometimes you got to you gotta
go Awkham's razor on this stuff and just figure out okay, well, yeah,

(35:58):
I mean he's over at this thing and the guys,
excuse me, Aukham's razor ramone. Let me just let me
just head that off at the pass. So but once
you do that, you realize that it was just it
was a moment of coherence, which is why it stands
out because it's not I mean, it's funny, I guess,
and he is wearing the hat. So yeah, it wasn't

(36:19):
like it wasn't gonna be in the news cycle. But
the shot, the story is, holy crap, how.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Did that happen?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Which isn't a positive for Piden, by the way, It's
not a positive if you're if people think you are
so incoherent and insane that when you have an exchange
that is a normal exchange. I mean abnormal in the
sense that one of them's president. But but you know,
guys talking trash to each other. I can't wait to

(36:48):
talk trash to my buddies this weekend with football's coming up.
I have pre prepared trash. I'm excited about. You know
how many how many you think us up during the
week and you just can't wait to you know, bust
your the guy. You know your buddy golf with stones
over something of the Joe Buck story, the Joe Buck Store.

(37:13):
I can't wait for that because I got a buddy
who hit his no, I think it was uh they
were fiance. It was his fiance at the time with
a golf ball. If you don't know the Joe Buck story,
we'll get to that here and in just a little bit,
I'm going to rebust his chops when I see him on.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Friday, Yes, sir, mess the fuck with that.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Joe Buck, the sports broadcaster, was out playing golf and
he drove the ball into his wife's ankle and she
had busted it, and so they should to go to
the hospital and they had to like rebuild her ankle
and whatnot. And they got a picture of her like
lying and she's in the hospital bed. She got thumbs up.
Try to put on a brave face. But this dude,

(37:59):
this dude, h Snap, you know, Snap, hooked a golf
ball into his wife's ankle and busted it, which we
can talk about. I know everybody here knows exactly what happened.
Everybody here knows exactly what happened. So why you don't
do it? I don't know if buckets blue white. What

(38:21):
his te selection is, I don't know. His handicap doesn't matter,
but the red teas are forward.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
And I've seen this. I've seen this scenario.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
I've spent a lot of time on golf courses, and
I'll never understand it why somebody who is on a
forward tea box will wait on their tea box. I
don't I was gonna say, I don't care if Tiger
Woods is doing it, but I've I've stood.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
At PGA events on the on on a tunnel.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
You ever seen where there's like a golf ball in
the trees and they're hitting through a tunnel of people.
As as a poor golfer myself, every thought in my
mind is I would murder all of you. But for
most of us, the one thing you don't want is
somebody up ahead of you. I have.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
There's there's a guy golf with.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
We were we were where were we we were? Oh yeah,
we were down playing down by uh uh Manio and
him and I are in the cart and he pulls
slightly ahead of the tea box because he hits, he
hits closer T's and me he's uh, he's quite a
bit older and and and I put the golf ball

(39:32):
through the cart. Yeah, through, So he's sitting there. Imagine
you're sitting in a golf cart. You know, you have
that open space in front of your face. My golf
ball went through that. It was very quiet for the
next few holes. Because yes, I'm a jerk. I should

(39:54):
get better at that. I have a little bit, but
I should get better. But every now and then things
go crazy. Also, don't pull ahead of the guy hitting
the drive. However, in this case, I feel like Joe
Buck would take his life in his own hands.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Bringing that point up and and that story.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
That story will be revisited. We could agree on this.
That's it will be revisited. It will be revisited at times.
Joe Buck probably doesn't want it revisited.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Forever.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Sh'll probably have it chiseled into his headstone. So yeah,
based on that, I'm looking for because that's how dudes
talk to each other.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
I reference this movie a lot.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
It's that scene from Grand to Reno he takes where
he takes the he takes the kid the his neighbor.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
A toad, that's what it was. He calls him toad.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
He takes him to that barbershop, right, and he's like,
this is how men talk to each other. He's trying
to train him. It's a very funny scene. I can
almost repeat none of it on the air. But it
has to do with the guys at his construction job
and making him sore. But the the exchange because it's

(41:16):
so mirrored what people experience that when they're just out
there being normal dudes. And I know I can't speak
to your late ladies the version that you have, although
some women are basically men in this sense, which I
think is funny.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
That's just it.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
And so when you see that, you see this thing
that is recognizable, that from a person that you haven't
recognized it in years from That's why that stands out.
But if you want to think it's an actor, go
ahead and do your thing. I can't stop you. All right,
Let's get over to this because you can't take a
phone call whatever you know? Where is at nine mice

(41:58):
and two of them with backward backward buttons, which you
won't even get into. All right, So we're talking about animals.
I have an animal story coming up for you that
I'm very excited to get into. And I don't know, frankly,
maybe this is the answer there in Ohio. You have

(42:18):
to do it's you don't like to import species from elsewhere, right,
that turns into a problem. There's a lot of famous
examples here in the United States where we brought in
one critter. A lot of times we bring in one
critter to deal with the other critters, and before you
know it, there's a thousand lady bugs. Okay, then we
got to get some neat the ladybugs or earthworms. Most

(42:42):
the earthworms that you buy if you ever go like
a fishing shop, and the ones that you dig up
in a lot of parts of the country are a
non native species to the United States. They just got
brought here and it works for plants and animals. I'm
sure you're all aware of kudzu. Yeah, thank you, World's

(43:02):
Fair and some guy have figured out how to get
really rich out of Virginia. Pushing that stuff is erosion
control all across North Carolina. So now one of the
worst infestations of the world is here. That stuffs from China.
China and Japan they have kutzu. But yeah, how about otters?

(43:23):
Though I am now terrified. A woman a woman has
been left bloody, dazed, in crying after getting attacked and
mauled by a gang of otters. Do they have like
matching tattoos? Do otters have a hand signal?

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Now the animals are starting to fight back, so they got.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Wind of what was going on, and wait, what are
you doing over by our pond?

Speaker 2 (43:53):
What's up with that? They have Internet, they've seen the memes.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
They're like, not me, you think a bunch of water
weasels are so around watching watching Fox or something.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I watched the debate?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I did see that funny meme?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
And of course the joyless, soulless, humorless people of uh
that are on Twitter, they just can't It was that
meme of that dog who stared at the TV and
see something horrific and it hides behind the couch and
the original video is Darth Vader. This woman's filming or
it looks like a golden lab or whatever is filming

(44:29):
or lab have a horrified reaction to Vader showing up
on the screen. And it's been around forever, but it's
the video allows you like that big TV screen in
the bar where everyone cheers, where they just overlay whatever
video they want. So they overlaid Trump talking about cats
and dogs yesterday, and I saw people trying to like

(44:52):
report it and get it flagged and all this stuff
because nobody's got a good sense of humor. That being said,
it may have influenced the auto. That's a fair point.
The victim had reportedly been jogging. This is in a park, geese,

(45:13):
We're in a park when she was beset upon who's
writing this? Beset upon by eight of the beasts. Have
you ever heard anyone refer to an otter as a beast?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Does that qualify under the fantastic beasts? And where to
find something with your old Harry Potter stuff they have.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
I'm sure they do have a magical otter of some
sort yet.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
An oscelet maybe, or a weasel or something in the family.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
At the very least.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
The woman, and you can see in the videos wearing
dark pink running tights and a black shirt, is pictured
sitting on the curb in tears, blood visibly covering all
of her arms, head, and you can actually see giant
gouges on her leg. The victim transported to a hospital
while wildlife team dispatched the park to quote keep tabs

(46:08):
on the otters. Wait now, what do you mean capture
or you mean keep tabs?

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
What does that look like? Do you now get the
vice cops down They're like, Oh, we're gonna have to
pull you off strip club duties. You can come down
to the park and monitor the otters. Investigators found that
the beasts they now called them a beast again, reportedly
live nearby.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Who is writing this? Are you? Wait? Are you telling me?
Are you telling me? Ross? I have to sit down.
I want to make sure I'm saying are.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
You telling me that the otters may live in the
pond near the park. This has to be an AI
written article, right, one hundred percent. There's no way it's not.
Or you have the worst theorizing law enforce versus a
wildlife department of folks on the planet. He explained the

(47:10):
otters had visited the part. Oh what's this guy's name?

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Roland Nwin? Who's the wildlife department? Directly?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
He says the otters had visited the park before without incident,
and the attack was likely due to a change in behavior.
You know what, Ross, you might be right that change
of behavior right at the exact time they're snatching up
geese or whatever.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Oh may you gotta what all right?

Speaker 1 (47:38):
So occasion needs something else to worry about today, be
on the lookout for rogue, beastly otters. What would what
would be worse getting killed by an otter group, a
pack of otters or a pack of docsins because that
was his story not long ago. Anyway, think about it.
We'll be back if you find yourself mauled by otters,
which according to like people, well people are now posting

(48:01):
links to other otter attacks.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Dude, what's up with the otters? What's less? It's less time?

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Do you even saw an otter let alone screwed with
the dang thing? So I don't know what's going on.
But here's the deal. You get wrecked by otters, you lie.
I know you shouldn't lie. Maybe don't lie to the police,
but light to everybody else. If if, if you get

(48:27):
damn near murdered by an order, go with bigfoot or
or a bear or something. And I understand, if you
go with the bear, they're gonna find a bear. They
might grease the bear. But I don't necessarily want that
unless it's bear hunting season.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
But you know, you can't walk.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
You can't be the otter guy. If I told you
that I've got no letting. No, let's not put this
on me, because then it'll start some stupid meme that
will follow me around forever. Let's say Ross walking into
the building tomorrow morning, it's attacked by a gang of rogues.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
Square worlds.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Okay, they they were maybe maybe they got beef because
they used to work for his messenger company with the
squirrels with the post it notes, and now they got nothing.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
They're out of work. They're like the Isis terrorists if.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
They only had a job, right, And they gang up
like the like the critter ball from that movie, and
they go after Ross and he he could walk into
the studio.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
He's all sliced up, like, what what happened?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Lie?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Lie?

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Some lions escape one of these big animal closures. They were,
they were downstairs. I fought them off with my bare hands.
You don't tell people you got wrecked by otters, No,
and don't could be wrong. Otters got some slicing ice
on them. Otters got big old teeth they got they'll
scratch you up the nasty if they want to be,
But for the most part they don't want to be.

(49:51):
They don't want to be around you. Although the California
sea otters do. That was always a weird thing for
me because here's what I learned as kid, that even
if there's a small mammal, don't screw with it. We
got blackfooted ferrets out in Wyoming. I know the animal
rights people know it because they try to get prairie
dog hunting shut down every year I was alive living there.

(50:13):
Those are much those are much smaller. I've seen an
aggressive one of those. I could totally take it, don't
get me wrong, but I you know, still give it
a wide berth. These otters are ganging up at attacking
joggers man, and then with what they're reading on the news,
that's probably you know, this is not a good time,
not a good time to be around the the animals.

(50:34):
That's all I'm saying, all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. So the numbers are out.
With the re repositioning of the DEI staff at UNC, and.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
These numbers are these they feel good.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
According to the UNC system and their final audit of
or audit and repositioning of resources surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion.
Following the direction from state lawmakers, they have Realigned one
hundred and thirty two positions eliminated fifty nine positions, And

(51:25):
I know what you're saying, like, Casey, why are you happy?
Fifty nine people lost their job? Fifty nine people lost
a job, sowing hatred between people and division. Maybe not hatred,
because I believe there's probably some people who think they're
doing good, but whether they know it or not, they
are sowing division more so than they were helping, in

(51:45):
my humble opinion, So do something else, right, I would
prefer that those who are using the term equity and
all white people are racist, not not be a job description.
I want you to be the I want you to

(52:07):
be the buggy whip company or something. Right, you know
what I'm saying. There's no use for you anymore. Now,
don't get me wrong. This is different from HR and
this is different from also protecting because you are a
public institution people's constitutional rights. One one hundred and thirty

(52:31):
two realigned positions fifty nine eliminated and a total thus
far of seventeen million dollars in savings, and there's more.
There is obviously more that could probably be cut, but
that's a good start.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
So what do you do? With the money. I have
an idea. Hear me out.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
A seventeen million dollars statue right where Silent Sam used
to beat. And I'm not saying put a Silent Sam
one up there. I want to be very clear. I
think you go super generic. This is a statue in
commemoration of all UNC alumni and or students who have

(53:15):
served and died in military conflicts within the United States
or for the United States. So you can and it'll
include everyone in can and for those of you go
and within that dose account. And then you need to
see how Congress decided that they were going to treat
Civil War veterans on both sides for the purpose of

(53:36):
reuniting the country.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
I read some history, but again you're not doing that.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
You're just putting up this statue and you're just like,
this is just to represent folks who were both UNC
alumni and soldiers.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
That's it, and just very generic. Put it up there.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
And and now you go, well, why's got to be
seventeen million. One, I didn't say it was going to
be small. And two for the movie tra apps, not
deadly ones or even harmful ones, but funny ones. I
want this thing that if you start rocking it skunk spray,
you start trying to whack its head off, which is

(54:15):
gonna be at least I want it to be able
to tower over that any it has to be taller
than the than the chapel spire at Duke because right,
that's you know, I got that contest going.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Just gold plated, covered with diamonds, and it talks laser eyes.

Speaker 1 (54:29):
I mean, you know, yes, I want this thing to
look like they hacked through the jungles of Guatemala and
found you know, oh, it's the Lost City of whatever,
and this is the thing at the center or over
where was it Thailand? Where it was a Thailand where
they found that whole city in the middle of the jungle.

(54:51):
The Dame Escape very famous, right yeah, And the ross
wants to go blingy. We can go blingy because remember
you're going somebody's gonna steal the blink No oh, booby
traps just talked about this. How about one of those
sticky nets, right the thing where it like it shoots,
it shoots out, then it like sticks.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
To the wall. You're not hurt, but you ain't going nowhere.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Next day they're like, why are you in the sticky
net were you were you up to something because you're
dressed all in black, you got a face mask on.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
What's going on? Yes, it's our seventeen million.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
We and and what a great thing too for the
engineering students, the stem fields can put this together to
combat their humanity's counterparts. Day you got a little campus
rivalry going on, updated on the regular with the newest

(55:50):
and latest and greatest non lethal, non harmful booby traps.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
That just amuse me.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
It's like I loved it when the University of Minnesota
UH planted all those little pine trees around the campus
one year and then like a Christmas rolled around and
like half of them got cut down. And what was
happening as students were literally in the middle of the
night after a few I'm sure, pulling the trees out
of the ground or cutting them down and then taking
them into say Christmas trees and their dorms.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
Do you know how they combated that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
If you know this, it's pretty cold in Minnesota around
Christmas time. So they sprayed all of the trees, the
remaining and then the replacement trees. With the spray, you
wouldn't know it's on there until you get it into
a warmer temperature. So if you've told one of those
trees from the quad or whatever, look fine, you get

(56:40):
into your dorm room, and as soon as it hits
room temperature, it say, it's like a skunk sprayed a
dead skunk.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
For stinking too much.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
It was awful, and in fact it by fired a
little because then what was happening is they would they
would taking them out, but some of them just kind
of like stuffed them in a somebody stuffed them in
like a trash choot and it like permeated the whole
part of the one dorm.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
But you know what, did you know?

Speaker 1 (57:07):
It didn't happen anymore. Nobody stole the trees, went seventeen
mil to work with. Let's do this thing, all right,
seven forty four. We're not building another boon big beer
on the camp. You can't have a beer on the
campus of a university. I mean you can physically have one,
but you can't have a giant No, no, no, no.

(57:29):
People send me crazy emails, sir, stop doing drugs, all right?
Seven forty five. Raced Agic would never do drugs. He's
high on naming hurricanes and stuff.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
So that's how they get their's life and hurricanes, Yeah,
all those things. Yes, Hurricane category two when Francine came
on shore yesterday afternoon about five pm Central time on
the Louisiana coast, a one hundred mile per hour storm
now slowing down and bringing a heavy rain threat Mississippi.
Not a threat's reality around around Jackson, Mississippi right now,

(58:01):
very heavy rainfall northern parts of the state up near Memphis,
some heavy rain, severe weather in the Panhandle, and widespread
rain to the west southwest of US, but staying there
for the most part over the next few days. Today cloudy,
departly sunny, and dry. Temperatures upper seventies, low eighties. Tomorrow,
maybe some spotty showers and a few showers possible into
the weekend, I guess, and I might be wrong about

(58:24):
this casey, but I don't know if people really care
about the wise. But there's the potential for low pressure
to develop also off the coast to our east, and
the Hurricane Center slaps a thirty percent chance on that
developing late in the weekend or early next week, So
we'll have to see what happens with that. But the
combination of the precipt down to our southwest, and that
low potentially developing is going to leave a chance of

(58:46):
showers and thunderstorms over the weekend and in through Wednesday
of next week. In the forecast now, the chances are low.
They're about thirty to forty percent each day, so not
widespread coverage, but still some rounds of showers thundershower will
be around. Now depends on how strong that load gets.
If it does develop it something bigger, No, could bring

(59:06):
some heavy rain into parts of the Carolina, So something
about keep an eye up. Probably have a lot more
on it tomorrow as right now, you do stay dry
today and even tomorrow it won't be much rain around.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
Are you ready for your buzz saw coming up Sunday?

Speaker 2 (59:20):
Saturday? Yeah, Saturday, you don't.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
Have anything because Clemson's a coward, but right, yeah, and
then they play State the week after and that's just
gonna be a nightmare for me having you on the air.
But well, yeah, but no Sunday, man, I mean you
got to take on a team that just beat its
last opponent by thirty seven points.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Yeah, but forty seven and yeah, really talking about now,
the Panthers are probably some of the Giants for maybe
the worst team in the NFL. So we'll see there.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
I don't think it's that much, hope. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Well here's the thing too, if you're going to be bad,
that's how bad you want to be.

Speaker 2 (59:59):
So you get to pick.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
But also you got to make the right picks. Because
they didn't get the pick. They traded for the pick,
and then they use the pick, and I don't know
that people think the pick's working out, and I hope
I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
I wish I will too.

Speaker 4 (01:00:13):
I would would say it's still early, but the time
is ticking, and yeah it probably he's probably got a
short leash.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Yeah all right, Well anyway, so yeah, you guys played
the Saints. So we'll get into more of that tomorrow,
but for now, yeah, I'll let you go back to
staring at your doppler or whatever you're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Okay, all right. Coming up on the show is Lord
of the Rings.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Gay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
I'm not the one asking the question, and I'm simply
responding to lunatics on social media.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
We got to talk Indiana Jones.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
We got to get into you just a whole bunch
of nerd stuff, and we'll do that coming up at
eight oh five with Stephen Kent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
So I do stick around for that, and we got
a little.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Something from the folks over at the US Postal Service,
and we got to North Carolina connection here that I
think people need to remember. Plus what's the NC legislature
up to. We'll try to get to all of it
fit in coming up here on the Cacoday Radio program.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Oh look at this. None of us get to go
to space.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
Yeah, but if the billionaires don't go, and more importantly,
if the companies that are going to actually privatize this
don't have this growing this, you know, this initial phase
of it, then you don't get to the other part
of it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
This is like many technologies and many advancements out there,
has to go through the process where it becomes safer,
more normalized. And it is through that way and through
that streamlining that eventually you get yourself to maybe you
someday getting to go up into space and do a

(01:02:00):
little spacewalk, because.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
That's how it works.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
That's how it has worked for just about every big
advancement out there. Right, Normal people didn't used to fly,
then they did. Normal people didn't used to be able
to afford a car, but then they did, or they
could I guess I should say right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
And it was through.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
Many, many, many years of development adaption by people who
could afford because of almost the individual printing of these
items or manufacturing of these items, that eventually the demand
created a system where they could create it like an
assembly line with Henry Ford, and they could create low

(01:02:46):
cost carriers. So you could get on a Spirit airline
one day and hear people screaming for no reason and
watch some lunatic pulled off of their while your plane's
delayed for two hours, but at least you got video footage.
None of these achievements in human history would be possible
without rich guys getting to do it first, as much

(01:03:08):
as you don't want to hear that. And for those
of you going, well, you know space where you have
the government that develop it through NASA, which is a
non military governmentor I understand all that, and everything has
a bit of uniqueness to it, and a lot of
the technology that you see integrated into everything that you
do is part and parcel of the government. The biggest

(01:03:30):
example out there, hands down is the GPS navigation, which,
remember was such a military tool that when GPS first started,
I don't know if you all remember the very first
garments that came out. They had a pretty significant air
I don't want say air range, but they had a

(01:03:50):
significant footprint for where they would actually lock on. We
literally didn't make it legal for them to be as
precise as they are now, so that you like find
my iPhone isn't necessarily a thing, and I know it's
obviously different technology, but is a thing that is also
an extension that is born from this. We chat with

(01:04:14):
Steven Ken, tour official NERD correspondent. All right, so I'm
getting the echo.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
Ross.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Are you hearing the echo?

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
All right, so that is fantastic. Talk to me, Steven,
and maybe the echo will stop.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
Oh see, good morning, good morning to you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Yeah, that I kind of did it, so all right, No,
I'm gonna put you on hold.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
Hang on, what is? What is?

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Why is the universe conspiring against me? Well, then I'm
getting the echo there.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Whatever, let's just go ahead and do this, all right, Steven.
So I'm gonna have one one headphone on the side
of the year. I think we would be remiss if
at every at one at one point each and every
time we have you on Star Wars wasn't mentioned, so
I'm just gonna go ahead and get that out of
the way. But also because I think that this is
one of the more interesting stories because it speaks to

(01:05:05):
what I think is going to be an absolute train
wreck that is a three pronged train wreck in the
world of Hollywood that the current Hollywood folks are trying
to fight off.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
And I wonder if they're not the modern day version of.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
People who were like, I don't need an automobile, My
horse is fine, and they're just not going to be
able to get with the program. And that is AI,
utilization of AI for writing, utilization of digital effects, for
including people who are no longer with us in acting roles.
Who knows how far that will go, And of course

(01:05:42):
the ability and the changing landscape of and this is
something that's been going on of the type of entertainment
that people actually want, which necessarily has created this situation
where there are no more Hollywood movie stars.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
You know, that's the big discussion.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
So the Star Wars thing has well, right now, it's
got a little bit of the second, but over the
years it's it's had a little bit of all of it.
What is the latest problem that we're now running into
explain it to us like we're like, we're five.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Please.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
Well, the latest problem is that last week Disney lucasfilm
has received a lawsuit from one Kevin Francis, a friend
of the Cushing family. Peter Cushing is the man who
played Grandmath Tarkin in the original Star Wars nineteen seventy seven.
You know, the bad guy who works with Darth Vader

(01:06:36):
aboard the Death Star. He really was only in that
one movie, but was instantly iconic, and I think before
then he was famous for vampire films and a couple
of other things. But so after he died in nineteen
ninety four, Cushing was gone and Star Wars was back
on the rise. In Rogue one, a Star Wars story
twenty and sixteen twenty seventeen, Peter Cushing was brought back

(01:07:00):
from the dead using CGI and his likeness and an
actor who they grafted Peter Cushing's face over using special effects.
And they are now being sued for the likeness by
not a family member of Cushing but a family friend,
which I find to be incredibly strange. They are going
to be going to court over it. There was an

(01:07:21):
appeal made by Disney and a judge in the UK
has said that it needs to go to court so
it can be settled.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Okay, And each of these things is as each of
these court cases get adjudicated, you're creating. You're creating a
legal record in a legal pathway right for a new thing.
It's like when the Internet first came on, when they
talked about it being lawless, it wasn't that it was lawless.
It was that we didn't know how to apply the
law to things. That's right, and it permeates a lot,

(01:07:52):
like you know, searches had to be updated the way
the law enforcement does searches for what is playing sight
as it pertains to digital right and and and what
can you do? So where do you think can I
This is a big prediction. Where do you think this
ends up? If not, because I happen to work in
the entertainment industry, them just jamming this stuff or attempting

(01:08:15):
to into contracts. And keep in mind, you're not going
to get Harrison Ford's not going to sign a contract
like that, and Brad Pitt's not going to sign a
contract like that. But if you're a young hungry actor
and you're like, hey, man, if this means I get
my big break, I will sign these rights away. Big
production studios are going to be more than willing to.

(01:08:35):
They're going to be putting this stuff into contracts. And
an up and coming actor who may one day be
the next Brad Pitt may have signed something on his
way up. He may you know, it may be like
the the the Sylvester Stallone porn movie, right yeah, yeah,
and it just follows you around.

Speaker 5 (01:08:56):
Now, I know, I know at this point Hepburn has
been recaptured.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Digitally for a commercial.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
You have had Christopher Reeves brought back for a crappy
TV show for The Flash, Paul Walker, Fast and the
Furious has been brought back, and Carrie Fisher also in
Star Wars, Princess Leah was brought back for the Abomination
that has the Rise of Skywalker episode nine. So you
do have a possible future in which certain actors die

(01:09:27):
and they are never truly let go. You don't have
people step into their shoes and fulfill their role as actors.
They can just keep bringing them back, and in terms
of contracts, it's pretty scary stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:09:38):
We covered the story a few weeks ago about Disney.
You know, not allowing someone to sue for damages after
death in the park because they said that they were
a member of Disney Plus and therefore signed away certain rights.
You know, Disney is arguing that Cushing signed away his
likeness in their contract with him in nineteen seventy seven.

(01:09:58):
But I imagine Cushing thought it was going to be
his face on T shirts and on cups and on
pillows and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Re issuing the movie, you know, putting out an updated
you know they have done with Star Wars obviously, right, exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:10:13):
No one thinks that Peter Cushing imagined that they'd be
able to keep him alive and make movies with his
face in twenty twenty four onward. But the thing that
I take exception with in this lawsuit is that that
movie came out seven eight years ago, and I think
it's strange that the lawsuit is being brought forward by
a friend of the family and not by the Cushing estate.

(01:10:37):
I'm pretty sure Disney checked all of their across their
t's and out of their eyes before they brought Cushing
back from the dead for that film. So I think
this is probably going to go nowhere, and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:47):
They'll end up being vindicated in the contract.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
But you know it's going to be one of the
next frontiers of entertainment law.

Speaker 1 (01:10:55):
Now, can we get the family or friends of Yoda
to sue for what they did bringing him back?

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Yes? Probably probably so?

Speaker 1 (01:11:05):
Did you are were you on those people who thought
it was really cool when he was flipping around like
a lunatic?

Speaker 5 (01:11:09):
No, that was horrible, Okay, absolutely horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Remember what was the name of that of the of
the Mechanical duty was fighting forgive me? I don't remember, but.

Speaker 5 (01:11:22):
Yoda started doing all sorts of crazy CGI flips in
two thousand and two for Attack of the Clones when
he battled Count Dooku. Christopher Lee, who, by the way,
Christopher Lee is a very wonderful candidate for an actor
who was so iconic that they might try to bring back,
you know, for future movies. He's dead now, but he
plays Saramon in Lord of the Rings. He plays Count

(01:11:45):
in Star Wars. I would very much imagine that Christopher
Lee is an actor that they're going to want to
bring back rather than recast.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
I have a question for Steven. Yeah, isn't there a
similar law put in a place after Back to the
Future too for the actor that played George mcfluh.

Speaker 1 (01:12:00):
And they decided that you could not do that. That
was a whole bigger thing, wasn't it. Yeah, that was
a whole bigger thing with him. But he's like, you're
talking Crispin Glover right, because it's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:10):
Very similar where back to the future too, the guy
that plays George McFly it's not the same guy that
played him. And back to the Future one, they hired
a guy and they made him look like him, and
they decided to as hell yeah, hell yeah. I think
they don't know if they passed a law or ruled
they said you could not do that anymore. You couldn't
do another person's likeness. It sounds very familiar, like similar, No,
they couldn't, you couldn't do another person.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
I remember, I actually I actually, well, I'll let Steven
answer if he wants, but I actually know the answer
to this, and it was that the beef was because
it was not made clear that it wasn't him. So
they said that it didn't matter who was playing. And
Crispin Glover was saying that if you do that and
you don't delineate that it's not me. If it reflects poorly,

(01:12:48):
I have no control over it, which I actually think
is a legitimate argument, and he was alive, although I
also think Crispin Glover is a weird dude.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Yeah, you know, I think this.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
Raises one question going back to Cushing, which is that
you know, there are certain actors who the actor that
they hired to play him in Rogue One, he did
a wonderful performance, like a wonderful impersonation of Peter Cushing
as Tarkan and Star Wars, and then they grafted Cushing's
face over him, and you kind of like would have
never known that there was a wonderful performance done by

(01:13:22):
a great actor who could impersonate Cushing. But you know,
you could have just hired Charles Dance, you know, the
famous British actor who plays Tayland Lanister in Game of Thrones,
in order to do a wonderful Cushing impersonation. You just
need to actually let actors do the job of performing,
and even if that means performing a character who is
made iconic by someone else.

Speaker 3 (01:13:43):
You need to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
And we've had this same debate in the music industry.
And I don't mean to change the subject here, but
you know, passed away singers and famous performers Elvis, we've
had debates in this country about whether or not they
should be brought back by hologram to go on tour.
Can you go and see a tour of Elvis performing

(01:14:05):
using hologram technology?

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:14:08):
And we had that same discussion around the death of
Chester Bennington and Lincoln Park.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:14):
Yeah, there was a lot of speculation that he was
going to be brought back by hologram and that is
going to happen one day with somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Well, they're working, don't they.

Speaker 1 (01:14:23):
They either have it or they're working on a show
like a Vegas show that has a bunch of like
they're good, they went out.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
I mean, they're gonna go out and get the rights
and all this.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
But you you'll be able to go to Vegas and
watch a hologram show of I don't let's just say
it's Michael Jackson. I don't know who it is, but
Michael Jackson, and then I don't know Diana Ross and
and you know who the hell knows?

Speaker 2 (01:14:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
And I think people will pay to go see that
because it's Vegas and we make bad decisions, but also
they'll probably put so much money into it it'll be
like the ORB or whatever there where. It's one of
these things you got to see once in your lifetime
and it will probably be pretty successful.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I think people will show up for that.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Let me ask you, let me ask you this question
on the on the Bennington thing, and I want you
to be Lou Pearlman for the purpose of this discussion, Steven,
do you mind.

Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
I can do that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:14):
For those of you who don't remember who Lou Pearlman is,
he's that really fat dude who was the boy band
guy and they're like, why does he like working with
boys so much?

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
Then we found out, But also.

Speaker 3 (01:15:23):
Why would you why would you want me to do that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
But go ahead, because because Lou Pearlman's job was to
essentially construct acts. And so I want you to put
yourself in the shoes of whoever's trying to figure out
who's going to be the new lead singer for Lincoln Park.

Speaker 2 (01:15:37):
What are you looking for? You want somebody who's got to.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
Fit with the vibe or do their own thing in
fitting with the vibe and and really expand the fan base.

Speaker 2 (01:15:46):
Right, that's the perfect case scenario.

Speaker 3 (01:15:47):
Right, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Okay, what if what if they're rape pathologists.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
Okay, I wouldn't have taken you Casey for a cancel
culture guy, but I think this is actually a very
contrived controversy, so I'll recap it for people. Lincoln Park
has brought on this woman, Emily Armstrong from the band
Dead Sarah, to be their new lead singer for this iconic,
you know, giant band, Lincoln Park. And she is two things.

(01:16:17):
She is a scientologist, a member of the Church of
Scientology or whatever it is. And she also was a
friend of Danny Masterson, the now convicted rapist and cast
member of that seventies show. And Lincoln Park is basically
facing a cancel culture campaign because she attended the trial

(01:16:38):
and sat in a seat in the courtroom early on
in the investigation into Danny Masterson when she wanted to
offer him a show of support as a friend. And
so Lincoln Park is now under siege because she attended
the trial of a friend accused of rape and it
turned out that Danny Masterson was in fact guilty in

(01:16:58):
which case then she repeat and said that is bad,
go to jail.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
I think it's uncouth, are you?

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Are you.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
That that the cancel culture would attach itself to something
like that, especially in the fact that the cast members
from that seventies show were able to slink back into
the bush like Homer Simpson in that meme, and uh,
you know, they'll probably never write a letter of recommendation
again in their life.

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
But yeah, and I remember they got in trouble for
doing that, because you know, you believe the best in people,
and especially when someone's a friend, and you can't believe
that they do something so monstrous. And that's what Ashton,
Kutcher and Milakunis ran into themselves, and they ended up
being wrong. And so was this girl who sings for
Lincoln Park, Emily Armstrong. And I think it's time to

(01:17:48):
move on now. Is it weird that she's a scientologist? Yeah,
it's super weird. I'm not a big fan, uh, but
you know, there are a lot of scientologists in Hollywood
and Los Angeles. It's kind of shocked when you look
at all the different scientologists and it's not just Tom Cruise.
So I think it comes down to this case when

(01:18:10):
fans are looking for like a new singer for Lincoln Park,
they want a new singer, they'd like to see the
band come back. Do they want a singer that was
picked by the record label and by the music industry,
or do they want a singer who was picked by
the band because they believe in them and they love
them and want them to be the singer. I think
they would prefer that the band have a singer that

(01:18:30):
they believe in. And the band picked Emily Armstrong, not
the label, not their pr people, And that's the best
choice because you got to actually have a singer that
the band wants to work with and believes can be
their new voice. And that's what happened here.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
So yeah, I got ninety seconds. One of the most
iconic and improvised scenes in Indiana Jones is the scene
where the dudes flipping the swords around in front of
him and he, rather than engage him in the way
that was actually in the script, he pulls that pistol
out and just shoots him.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
Everybody knows the scene.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
So why the hell do I got to listen to
Indiana Jones game creators say that gunplay in the game
wouldn't be true to the character.

Speaker 5 (01:19:14):
Oh gosh, so they're I mean, they're right, though, So
I'm gonna I'm gonna go off on this. In the
In the sense that like Indiana, Jones was never supposed
to shoot anyone in any of the movies. It was
just sort of a thing that George Lucas and Steven
Spielberg wanted. They wanted it to all be very classic punches,
you know, using his bowl whip and all that kind

(01:19:34):
of stuff. That day, when Harrison Ford was shooting the
scene where he shoots the guy, uh, he had he
had let's say, liquid bowel movements. He was very, very sick.
He was not feeling well and he did not want
to do the fight scene anymore, and so he got
fed up. He said, give me a prop gun, I'm

(01:19:55):
gonna shoot the guy, and he shot the guy and
walked off to go to the bathroom because he did
not want to shoot the scene anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
So it was like a funny a funny gag.

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Yeah, but but it but it, but it is one element.
Even think I got five seconds, I got a roll.
I appreciate the time. We may get into this again.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
We'll be right back. Hang on
